0:00:25 > 0:00:34champion at last. Another Olympic title.What a leap from her.Jamie
0:00:34 > 0:00:44Anderson, goodness me, liquid snowboarding.Des four.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47snowboarding.Des four. -- day four.
0:01:18 > 0:01:31In Korea, we are very superstitious. We fear the number four. If you're
0:01:31 > 0:01:37in fourth place...
0:01:37 > 0:01:42in fourth place...I've had lost have to with. It has been tough, as
0:01:42 > 0:01:52well. I am feeling it for her.To guard against bad luck, we make
0:01:52 > 0:01:58kites, and then rewrite our birth date and our name. We let them fly
0:01:58 > 0:02:03high, and if they saw, we released them. Just like that, the bad luck
0:02:03 > 0:02:09is gone.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15is gone. -- if they soar.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Hello and welcome to Today At The Games.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20When the schedule came out for the Winter Olympics, we all put
0:02:20 > 0:02:22an asterix next to Tuesday 13th February.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25That's because today is the day that British sports fans were hoping
0:02:25 > 0:02:28to break out the bunting and the union jacks and celebrate
0:02:28 > 0:02:31that rarest of things - a British Winter Olympic Gold.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Since the first Winter Games in 1924,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37there have only been ten of them.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I'm joined by short track speed skater Sarah Lindsay
0:02:41 > 0:02:44snowboarder Ben Kilner and downhill skier Chemmy Alcott.
0:02:44 > 0:02:52Lots to discuss as we reflect on day four in PyeongChang.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58She has taken world and European titles but never an Olympic medal.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04Today was the first three shots at gold for Elise Christie.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Two nations are watching Chloe Kim,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08whose parents left South Korea to pursue the American gold.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09She was hot favourite for the halfpipe.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11The greatest skier never to become Olympic champion.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Marcel Hirscher hopes the combined can change his life.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15The Germans love the luge and they were hoping
0:03:15 > 0:03:19to bank another gold medal.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22There's no doubt that Elise Christie has been through the mill
0:03:22 > 0:03:25but a lot can change in four years and Christie is back,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28stronger in body and mind than ever before.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30This is the 500m of the short track speed skating -
0:03:30 > 0:03:33the shortest distance.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36The medals are decided in just over 42 seconds on a blade
0:03:36 > 0:03:37no wider than a millimetre.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41It's a sport of fine margins in which
0:03:41 > 0:03:47the only thing that is certain is the uncertainty.
0:03:47 > 0:03:58To everyone on the exterior, they want to see the redemption. I
0:03:58 > 0:04:02already personally feel that I have made redemption.The world champion,
0:04:02 > 0:04:11Elise Christie.
0:04:11 > 0:04:18Elise Christie.Every athlete dreams of being an Olympic medallist.
0:04:18 > 0:04:24of being an Olympic medallist. To go out and win the gold.Elise Christie
0:04:24 > 0:04:28is safely through to the quarterfinals.It is about what it
0:04:28 > 0:04:33means.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38quarterfinals.It is about what it means.
0:04:40 > 0:04:47There is Elise Christie, the boarder record-holder at this distance. Kim
0:04:47 > 0:04:55Boutin of Canada is ranked number four this winter, with Anna Seidel
0:04:55 > 0:05:00of Germany on the outside. Why they go in the race to the opening corner
0:05:00 > 0:05:04and it is taken by Kim Boutin of Canada. Christie settling in second
0:05:04 > 0:05:09place.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14place. But do of Hungary enter. Smart move from Christie sliding
0:05:14 > 0:05:18through on the inside. Takes advantage over Kim Boutin. These two
0:05:18 > 0:05:23are the favourites to go through from this race. They should be the
0:05:23 > 0:05:25class in the field and at the moment that is exactly what it looks like.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31It will be interesting to see the time Elise Christie posts. Leading
0:05:31 > 0:05:35the way, they are on the last lap, at the moment she's through to the
0:05:35 > 0:05:44semifinals. Here comes Christie. Up towards the line, Elise Christie
0:05:47 > 0:05:50takes it, and she has successfully negotiated the first hurdle of the
0:05:50 > 0:05:57day. It is confirmed as a new Olympic record, 42.073 seconds. That
0:05:57 > 0:06:02also means that Christie is by far the fastest qualifier so she will be
0:06:02 > 0:06:10assured of having the inner lane again for that semifinal.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12again for that semifinal. There is Elise Christie just gathering her
0:06:12 > 0:06:20thoughts for this semifinal. Elise Christie, 4.5 laps to make it into
0:06:20 > 0:06:28the Olympic final, and the chance to race for gold. Why they go. They are
0:06:28 > 0:06:33away first time. Christie second the map first corner. Kim Boutin of
0:06:33 > 0:06:39Canada are taking it. Yara van Kerkhof of the Netherlands at the
0:06:39 > 0:06:45back. Christie just closing the door as Qu Chunyu had a little look but
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Kimbolton got out of the box quickly. Christie challenging on the
0:06:50 > 0:06:55inside. Gets to the front of the race, forced a little bit wide, Qu
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Chunyu has gone down and you are van Kerkhof is out the front, Christie
0:06:58 > 0:07:06in second place. Elise Christie now holding off the challenge of Kim
0:07:06 > 0:07:13Boutin in third place. Round the bend they come. Up towards the line.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Christie and van Kerkhof in a photo for first place. Kim Boutin, I think
0:07:16 > 0:07:23third over the line.And amazing race. I know where Elise had a
0:07:23 > 0:07:28little bit of a problem, she allowed Kim Boutin to get in front of her at
0:07:28 > 0:07:37the start so it will be a decision for the referee to make.Taking --
0:07:37 > 0:07:39waiting for official confirmation. Van Kerkhof marginally in front of
0:07:39 > 0:07:51Christie. There she is. Is this to be a moment? -- her moment. It is
0:07:51 > 0:07:59nearly time. The Olympic final of the women's 500 metres. A nation
0:07:59 > 0:08:04holds its breath.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10holds its breath. Away they go. The final is on. They get away first
0:08:10 > 0:08:13time. Van Kerkhof not with a great start, Christie Karanka moved
0:08:13 > 0:08:20through on the inside, Fontana of Italy leads the way. Kim Boutin of
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Canada is in second, Elise Christie back and forth at the moment. She
0:08:23 > 0:08:29has work to do to get back into contention. Montana still leads from
0:08:29 > 0:08:36Kim Boutin. Christie now trying to hug the inside line, have a little
0:08:36 > 0:08:43look, no way past Boutin, Christie Christ to make it on the inside, and
0:08:43 > 0:08:49Christie crashes out. Christie is out of it once again, Fontana going
0:08:49 > 0:08:57for it, it is a photo finish between Arianna Fontana and Choi Min-jeong.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01In her quest for gold Elise Christie ends up on the floor again. She
0:09:01 > 0:09:04crashed out of the final four years ago, and history has repeated itself
0:09:04 > 0:09:12in Korea. She doesn't finish the race. One chance gone, ending in
0:09:12 > 0:09:17bitter disappointment for Elise Christie who is doubled over at the
0:09:17 > 0:09:22moment. She has two more attempts to try to claim an elusive Olympic
0:09:22 > 0:09:27medal. It is a photo finish for first place at the moment. This is
0:09:27 > 0:09:33the shot we need. And it is Arianna Fontana. Still, they haven't
0:09:33 > 0:09:37officially announce the winner. We could see that Fontana crossed the
0:09:37 > 0:09:43line, and there is a penalty for Choi Min-jeong of Korea. She has
0:09:43 > 0:09:47been penalised, and the home crowd cannot believe it. Arianna Fontana
0:09:47 > 0:09:54is the Olympic champion. Yara van Kerkhof of the Netherlands takes
0:09:54 > 0:09:55over and Kim Boutin of Canada
0:09:55 > 0:09:55Kerkhof of the Netherlands takes over and Kim Boutin of Canada has
0:09:55 > 0:10:02the bronze.I have worked so hard for the 500. And it has just been
0:10:02 > 0:10:12taken away from me. I got crashed into. Then put into Lane four. I
0:10:12 > 0:10:16know that it is short track and I am supposed to be prepared for this,
0:10:16 > 0:10:22but... It still hurts, you know?I think we all feel for you right now.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26You have come back from this before. I am sure that you are strong enough
0:10:26 > 0:10:36to do it again.Hopefully. I have got a few days. It is still about
0:10:36 > 0:10:43giving my best. I don't know... Right now, I just can't see living
0:10:43 > 0:10:51with this, you know?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53with this, you know?So, so distressing to watch that and here
0:10:53 > 0:11:02that. You have been with her since you were friends at 15, you have
0:11:02 > 0:11:07been in touch with her since. She was really raw after this.I spoke
0:11:07 > 0:11:11to her very quickly after. She was still really, really upset. Her
0:11:11 > 0:11:17words were that she was devastated. We went back and forth a few times,
0:11:17 > 0:11:25and she quickly moved into getting a little bit peed off but it all, so
0:11:25 > 0:11:28hopefully she is going through the grief process and is now getting
0:11:28 > 0:11:33angry and ugly getting motivated again.And we will see her back on
0:11:33 > 0:11:38the ice. We have an interesting replay to show you. This is what
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Wilf O'Reilly had to say after the final.One of the things we need to
0:11:43 > 0:11:48understand looking at it from a positive as well is that Elise has
0:11:48 > 0:11:52had these disappointments in Sochi, she's had the first disappointment
0:11:52 > 0:11:56here, I said that just get a medal would have been the way to move
0:11:56 > 0:12:02forward. Now she has come away, she has come forth again. She has the
0:12:02 > 0:12:061500 metres and the 1000 metre still to go. One of the things now she
0:12:06 > 0:12:12needs to do and the British camp and back in the UK, get behind her, stay
0:12:12 > 0:12:21positive. It is just the start of the Olympics.That was Elise's
0:12:21 > 0:12:25boyfriend who is also a short track speed skating are competing for
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Hungary consoling her. She has got a good team around her. You have soon
0:12:29 > 0:12:35an angle, and initially we thought that Yara van Kerkhof was to blame,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39but it goes back to this incident with Kim Boutin of Canada.We were
0:12:39 > 0:12:43looking at the reason why she felt. Because her hand was taken away from
0:12:43 > 0:12:50her. If you look earlier on in the race, the Canadian cup in very
0:12:50 > 0:12:55tight, going into the corner and squeezed Elise hard so that she had
0:12:55 > 0:12:55to go into the
0:12:55 > 0:12:59squeezed Elise hard so that she had to go into the corner very tight.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04She ended up drifting wide. Which is why the Dutch girl drifted up the
0:13:04 > 0:13:11inside and took her hand. It did look very deliberate from Boutin,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15she did not take her normal line, she did four almost shuffles to make
0:13:15 > 0:13:19sure that she strayed over to the left and squashed Elise going into
0:13:19 > 0:13:25the corner. Elise had moved enough past her for her to be having that
0:13:25 > 0:13:28line and she should have stepped out and let her take it.She catches the
0:13:28 > 0:13:35inside marker, and that unbalanced. She had the block, went out wide
0:13:35 > 0:13:40with both hands down on the ice, then she recovered from that quite
0:13:40 > 0:13:43nicely, but because she had speed and she had gone white, the Dutchman
0:13:43 > 0:13:46up the inside and then took Handbridge hand which cause the De
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Paul. We are focused on that, but if you take it back a few paces, you
0:13:50 > 0:13:51can see why all of that
0:13:51 > 0:13:52you take it back a few paces, you can see why all of that started in
0:13:52 > 0:13:57the first place.You short track speed skating say that this happens
0:13:57 > 0:14:01all the time, but for it to happen four times at the Olympics, that is
0:14:01 > 0:14:08harsh, isn't it?It is a very harsh on Elise. She had Sochi, everybody
0:14:08 > 0:14:11knows what happened there. She has done so much in between. She has
0:14:11 > 0:14:14achieved everything that there is to achieve and this is the last thing
0:14:14 > 0:14:20left. Today was a bit of a disaster for work, but you can't forget, she
0:14:20 > 0:14:25has two distances stored ago, and we must focus on that. Everyone needs
0:14:25 > 0:14:28to get behind her, because she responds very well to everybody
0:14:28 > 0:14:33else's and positivity.That's why you been in touch, giving her those
0:14:33 > 0:14:38positive vibes. And I know everyone watching as well, making sure that
0:14:38 > 0:14:41they were offering support and wishing her luck, because that is
0:14:41 > 0:14:46the most important factor in this sport. She's back in the ice on
0:14:46 > 0:14:52Saturday... In the 1500 metres she is a world champion. She's in these
0:14:52 > 0:15:04for the 1000 metres on Tuesday. -- she is in the heats for.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Six new events in existing sports were introduced
0:15:06 > 0:15:07to the Winter Olympic program this year.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Men's and women's big air snowboarding, men's and women's mass
0:15:10 > 0:15:12start speed skating, mixed team alpine skiing
0:15:12 > 0:15:13and mixed doubles curling.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15It's the mixed doubles curling
0:15:15 > 0:15:20that we turn our attention to now.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Who will claim the inaugural Olympic crown?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24The final was between the two heavyweights of curling -
0:15:24 > 0:15:27world champions Switzerland versus a Canadian team that boasts
0:15:27 > 0:15:29two Olympic champions.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31But first, battling it out for the bronze
0:15:31 > 0:15:39was OAR and Norway.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Paddy Gearey picks up the action.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49The slip sandstones of semifinal heart ache would still be fresh for
0:15:49 > 0:15:52these two pairs. Missed chances among courses have to be swept from
0:15:52 > 0:16:00the mind because there is a bronze medal in line. The married pair of
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Anastasia Bryzgalova and Alexander Krushelnitsky seize control. In
0:16:03 > 0:16:08curling you can never be too careful. Norway took this to the
0:16:08 > 0:16:15final end. The Olympic Athletes from Russia became mixed doubles curling
0:16:15 > 0:16:19first Olympic medallists.The Solar Equation 's "Them.Now for another
0:16:19 > 0:16:24bit of history. The inaugural final in this event. The world champions
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Switzerland against a Canadian pair who only joined forces shortly
0:16:27 > 0:16:31before the games. Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris have made some impact.
0:16:31 > 0:16:39How about this for fuss free house clearing?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43It is a great effort, really great effort. The Swiss match them
0:16:43 > 0:16:49struggle stroke and everything pointed to this being a classic.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Switzerland respond with two of their own.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Things change faster than you think in this sport. Switzerland 's Martin
0:16:56 > 0:17:02Rios got this very, very wrong.He doesn't want catch that top read.
0:17:02 > 0:17:08Push their own stone out there. That is a big mistake there.What
0:17:08 > 0:17:12followed was as brutal as curling gets. Canada were ruthless and
0:17:12 > 0:17:21relentless.Kaitlyn Lawes certainly worked that stone well.The points
0:17:21 > 0:17:27kept coming. Look away now if you are sensitive or Swiss.Possible
0:17:27 > 0:17:34four here and it has gone. Yes. A great shot from Kaitlyn Lawes.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Switzerland needed a dramatic U-turn, always tough on ice. The
0:17:38 > 0:17:45Macri has been in this situation before I managed it around.He will
0:17:45 > 0:17:49dig Ian Wright the last minute. Canada league as we go into the
0:17:49 > 0:17:53fifth end. 6-3 and they have a hammer.And five in Canada kept on
0:17:53 > 0:18:02kept on sweeping on.Trying, he is trying. That is going to be two.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Well, slightly forlorn look on the faces of the Swiss pair.By end six
0:18:07 > 0:18:12it was clear there was no path back into this for the Swiss realise the
0:18:12 > 0:18:16sums were against the men out to be inevitable, with this handshake the
0:18:16 > 0:18:23first mixed doubles final was over two ends early.It is Canada 's gold
0:18:23 > 0:18:28medal. A brilliant performance from the two and they have been a perfect
0:18:28 > 0:18:32couple.New event and some things never change. It is curling, Canada
0:18:32 > 0:18:34tend to
0:18:34 > 0:18:37never change. It is curling, Canada tend to be winning.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41And if it is curling we love to watch it. If you want to watch the
0:18:41 > 0:18:46British teams, the men's curling, the new GP team with Kyle Smith and
0:18:46 > 0:18:52his rink. They make their debuts in the first Round Robin match.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Eve Muirhead and her rink begin their Olympic campaign
0:18:54 > 0:18:56in their first round robin match.
0:18:56 > 0:19:04Women's curling Great Britain v OAR, 5.05am tomorrow morning.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Early starts for you but given we have coverage pretty much 24 hours
0:19:08 > 0:19:11you can catch up with it later on and if you want catch up with
0:19:11 > 0:19:14curling later in the morning we will be bringing it to you.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Now to the final of the women's snowboard halfpipe and one
0:19:17 > 0:19:19of the biggest stars in town is Chloe Kim.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22The American with Korean heritage has got support from both sides.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24She blitzed through qualification and at only 17-years-old was ready
0:19:24 > 0:19:29to drop in to the history books.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33It was standing room only at the halfpipe in the Phoenix Snow Park.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36In South Korea there is argument more excitement over this medal than
0:19:36 > 0:19:38any of the others.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Here's Ed Leigh.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Here's Ed Leigh.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47This is Chloe Kim, the youngest snowboarder ever to have won three
0:19:47 > 0:19:50consecutive X Games medals and in one time she won with a perfect
0:19:50 > 0:19:54score of 100. It is not as snowboarding skills that make the
0:19:54 > 0:19:58centre of attention in South Korea. She may hail
0:19:58 > 0:19:59centre of attention in South Korea. She may hail from southern
0:19:59 > 0:20:06California, but her family are from right.I grew up in a very Korean
0:20:06 > 0:20:10environment. I am competing my first Olympics in a country where my
0:20:10 > 0:20:15parents came from and that is pretty insane.The Koreans love having her
0:20:15 > 0:20:20here and they are cheering her on as though she is competing for the home
0:20:20 > 0:20:23nation.Big at the Olympics was a dream of mine since I was a little
0:20:23 > 0:20:28girl and so I think it is just kind of crazy coincidence that my first
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Olympics is at the country my parents came from.She has been
0:20:32 > 0:20:35waiting for the chance to ride in an Olympic halfpipe in four years. She
0:20:35 > 0:20:41was qualified to ride in Sochi but too young to compete.She can win
0:20:41 > 0:20:45gold here she might just become a fully fledged megastar in the US as
0:20:45 > 0:20:49well as in Korea.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52fully fledged megastar in the US as well as in Korea.Three runs and
0:20:52 > 0:20:58only the best run will count. Representing America, this is Kelly
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Clark, the most successful snowboarder ever to strap in
0:21:00 > 0:21:07competition.A signature frontside air. A backside 540 and a lot of
0:21:07 > 0:21:18travel down the pipe. A huge frontside ten and a 1080 on the
0:21:18 > 0:21:24third hit. That is huge.Crippler, a backflip in the pipe and a tail flip
0:21:24 > 0:21:29and Kelly Clark has just set a huge high mart in the women's halfpipe
0:21:29 > 0:21:39finals. 76.2 five. Next up luge Ayew, AKA birdie. She is so relaxed
0:21:39 > 0:21:44up there.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50up there. -- Liu Jiayu.Do so hard to keep your deal edge on that wall
0:21:50 > 0:21:56but she has bossed it so far. It is a beautiful run and a big frontside
0:21:56 > 0:22:01five and landing nice and high on the transition. Back to back five
0:22:01 > 0:22:04claw-back. Lovely stuff. She could have got it round a little bit more
0:22:04 > 0:22:11and she is happy.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14and she is happy.Chloe Kim, she is without question the best halfpipe
0:22:14 > 0:22:20rider in the world. Whether she can put it together now, under pressure,
0:22:20 > 0:22:28that is what counts.Boom! Absolutely huge to start things off.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Frontside 1080. Switch now when she loses a bit as me but she still gets
0:22:33 > 0:22:38the 720 around. Frontside 100. There is the mixed twist and the Indie
0:22:38 > 0:22:50ground. Into a huge inverted seven. What a run from her.What a run.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54This is the frontside 1080 and at the X Games two weeks ago we saw
0:22:54 > 0:22:58that back-to-back in the errand that is where Chloe Kim can go and nobody
0:22:58 > 0:23:03else can. That is why Kelly Clark got a 76 for an incredible run early
0:23:03 > 0:23:10on because the judges needed space to for Chloe Kim.That ensured she
0:23:10 > 0:23:15led the field. The first to run -- drop in round two was Arielle Gold.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20This rider also had the 1080 in her arsenal. She produced the trick on
0:23:20 > 0:23:26the first hit and those three turns in the air put her into fourth.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Kelly Clark produced another 1080 to ensure she remained in the podium on
0:23:30 > 0:23:35third. The Chinese rider Liu Jiayu put down a big and cleaner version
0:23:35 > 0:23:42of her first run and she closed the gap to Chloe Kim 's first-run score.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45The American once again dropped last. The clouds -- the crowds were
0:23:45 > 0:23:51roaring her on as she attempted back-to-back 1080s but it wasn't to
0:23:51 > 0:23:55be and she left the door slightly ajar for her rival as she headed
0:23:55 > 0:24:04into round three. Aerial gold landed a brilliant run on her second run,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07can she now set it up and tidy it up and make it as big and clean as it
0:24:07 > 0:24:15is possible to get. If she can she could push Chloe Kim. Amazing.An
0:24:15 > 0:24:18absolutely huge Liu Jiayu to kick things off. Switch seven and build
0:24:18 > 0:24:24up the speed now I get the amplitude up. A nice backflip.She has lost
0:24:24 > 0:24:32amplitude there.She really has. Backside air, frontside nine. A huge
0:24:32 > 0:24:35mug twist. Even how at the bottom and her hands are in the air. Is it
0:24:35 > 0:24:40enough?
0:24:41 > 0:24:50enough?85. An 11 point shift. That is huge.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52is huge. Kelly has got to put another trick into this, hasn't she?
0:24:52 > 0:24:59Another big twist. -- trick.She has two.She landed a little flattered
0:24:59 > 0:25:05that would kill the speed. Again a bit flat but she is holding the
0:25:05 > 0:25:14speed. A big frontside ten and that is beautiful. Now, switch seven. She
0:25:14 > 0:25:16is landing flat and how we she still standing up? A huge crippler and I
0:25:16 > 0:25:23think that was the improvement. There was the extra 20 -- it as
0:25:23 > 0:25:29well.Can Kelly Clark move up the rankings with that one? I don't know
0:25:29 > 0:25:40how to call it really.83.5. It is a slight improvement for Kelly Clark
0:25:40 > 0:25:43but it is not enough to overhaul aerial gold, who remains in bronze
0:25:43 > 0:25:54medal position.Liu Jiayu of China, her nickname is birdie.This is a
0:25:54 > 0:26:04celebration of snowboarding here. Beautiful. Really nice height on the
0:26:04 > 0:26:14second it.Here is the 1080, go one! 900.She is so high.Here is the
0:26:14 > 0:26:20frontside ten. Oh, she has gone!She landed that we would have had the
0:26:20 > 0:26:25game on our hands. Liu Jiayu knows that she is the silver medallist, as
0:26:25 > 0:26:30has so often been the case was Sean White, Chloe Kim will be gifted the
0:26:30 > 0:26:38lap of honour.Let's see. She is eating this pipe up for breakfast
0:26:38 > 0:26:43here.Please do the back-to-back. She is not holding back. She know
0:26:43 > 0:26:52she has the. Yes! Back-to-back ten and nine to the flat with her legs
0:26:52 > 0:27:00turned on and I was the mixed twist that defies logic. The final
0:27:00 > 0:27:05inverted seven and we have a new Olympic champion.Wow. An absolutely
0:27:05 > 0:27:13brilliant run from Chloe Kim.
0:27:13 > 0:27:20brilliant run from Chloe Kim.A phenomenal run from Chloe Kim.You
0:27:20 > 0:27:25tweeted that you were angry earlier on, did that help? You unleashed it
0:27:25 > 0:27:32on the final run.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34on the final run.Yes, I was getting really hangry are not really stoked
0:27:34 > 0:27:37because my stomach was rumbling but I transferred all of that anger into
0:27:37 > 0:27:45my third run and it worked! I love the face, it worked, and I
0:27:45 > 0:27:50will have some ice cream! The combination of anger and anger just
0:27:50 > 0:27:53got her out there.This was her at the top of the run before she came
0:27:53 > 0:27:57down and she said she wished she had finished breakfast sandwich. She is
0:27:57 > 0:28:03so laid back.It is refreshing.Ben, I want your expertise on white Chloe
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Kim is so much better than anyone else in women's halfpipe.I have had
0:28:08 > 0:28:19to think about this quite a lot now and I think
0:28:20 > 0:28:22and I think some the youngsters that are being introduced to the sport at
0:28:22 > 0:28:25such a young age now that there is such a wide variety of tricks, they
0:28:25 > 0:28:27are entering a world where when I was younger these tricks were not
0:28:27 > 0:28:30available. Chloe is just one of these girls that is naturally
0:28:30 > 0:28:34talented and she looks so smooth during her run. Share here -- here
0:28:34 > 0:28:37she has her back-to-back 1080 so she showcases the true essence of
0:28:37 > 0:28:40snowboarding. She got a perfect score originally when she did this
0:28:40 > 0:28:46run at the X Games and she has done it again at the Olympics.She is the
0:28:46 > 0:28:51youngest ever female to win a gold-medal on the snow and she
0:28:51 > 0:28:54actually reached qualification standard four years ago.Yes, she
0:28:54 > 0:28:59was just too young to go to Saatchi but she showcased herself at the X
0:28:59 > 0:29:14Games. She has more gold than anyone else already at such a young
0:29:16 > 0:29:19age and she has such a bright future as well.That gave women's
0:29:19 > 0:29:21snowboarding a chance to shine because after what happened at the
0:29:21 > 0:29:24slopestyle we needed to see it at its best.Everyone was talking about
0:29:24 > 0:29:26the progression of the female riders yesterday and they couldn't do with
0:29:26 > 0:29:29the wind in the slopestyle so it was brilliant to see them yesterday and
0:29:29 > 0:29:31she was showing something that was young and hungry and pushing the
0:29:31 > 0:29:34boundaries for female riders.We will see a lot more from Chloe in
0:29:34 > 0:29:36the future.The USA are certainly dominating.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Also hanging out at the halfpipe was the man with the best nickname
0:29:39 > 0:29:42in sport, the Flying Tomato, Shaun White, who won gold in 2006
0:29:42 > 0:29:45and 2010 and could yet become the first snowboarder ever to win
0:29:45 > 0:29:53three Olympic titles.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01This is Shaun White, the finest of his generation. The eyes of the
0:30:01 > 0:30:11world are on this man. Absolutely massive! His second gold medal.
0:30:11 > 0:30:22Shaun White unveils the Tomahawk! Phenomenal.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Shaun White unveils the Tomahawk! Phenomenal. The hair is short, the
0:30:23 > 0:30:28body a little older and a qualification today he was pushed
0:30:28 > 0:30:33all the way by Australian, Scotty James.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36all the way by Australian, Scotty James. The first of these two riders
0:30:36 > 0:30:43is Scotty James, the Australian. In 2017 he won pretty much everything.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Shaun White comes out for just the biggest and best events of the year.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52There are very few people who can claim to have beaten him in the
0:30:52 > 0:30:57perfect pipe when he is on form. Scotty James is going to try and do
0:30:57 > 0:31:06that. My goodness. Absolutely huge, he's gone back for the add-on, the
0:31:06 > 0:31:11back-to-back 1260s. The backside 900. The frontside five, the switch
0:31:11 > 0:31:23five, entered a switch backside nine. ! The Taipan. That's what he
0:31:23 > 0:31:30went for last time.You don't see many of those.96.75, Scotty James
0:31:30 > 0:31:35gives a little annoyed, like he knew that it was coming. A jab to the
0:31:35 > 0:31:40camera. Here I come, Sean, here I come. Scotty James moves into first.
0:31:40 > 0:31:47What can Shaun White du?He definitely sprinkles pressure on his
0:31:47 > 0:31:56breakfast cereal. What can he do year? A huge frontside double ten.
0:31:56 > 0:32:03The biggest hits we have seen on these spinning 1080s. Little bit
0:32:03 > 0:32:12squarely on the edge. He has held it, into the double.The frontside
0:32:12 > 0:32:17double 1260.You start wondering if Shaun White isn't operating with
0:32:17 > 0:32:23some kind of different gravitational force.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28force.Is just walking away from the board! He knows that it is good. He
0:32:28 > 0:32:35knows that it's big. How easy did he make it look? Shaun White, take a
0:32:35 > 0:32:50bow. 98.5! Wow!I wish we had a camera on Scotty James now. The look
0:32:50 > 0:32:56on his face would tell you everything that you need to know. A
0:32:56 > 0:32:57million different reasons why you should
0:32:57 > 0:33:01million different reasons why you should watch the finals tomorrow.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06Scottie did an amazing round. I figured I really needed to send it
0:33:06 > 0:33:10one.You can't run as fast when someone is chasing you. It has been
0:33:10 > 0:33:14nice to see those guys stepping out, do challenging runs and really put
0:33:14 > 0:33:21the pressure on me to and so back with something special.He is the
0:33:21 > 0:33:26big occasion performer, and he hardly competes at all these days.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Straight after Sochi, he disappeared off the scene for a while. I don't
0:33:30 > 0:33:33know whether the Hollywood and business lifestyle kind of got to
0:33:33 > 0:33:38him and he sort of disappeared, but he has come back and answered.And
0:33:38 > 0:33:43he gets so much height, it seems that he can do more than others.
0:33:43 > 0:33:49Scotty James is brilliant but at the moment he is still better.What is
0:33:49 > 0:33:51interesting is Scotty James and Shaun White have not clashed
0:33:51 > 0:33:56together too often. Seeing it here at the Olympics, it's going to be a
0:33:56 > 0:34:01massive show. You can see Shaun White showing how high he can get.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06And he is silky smooth. This is his signature trick that he has always
0:34:06 > 0:34:12had since 2006, injuring. And although these new tricks, the back
0:34:12 > 0:34:20double 12, enter the frontside double 1440. All that I find with
0:34:20 > 0:34:25these guys is that the qualification runs have been outstanding. I don't
0:34:25 > 0:34:31really know what the final is going to be like.Scotty James has this
0:34:31 > 0:34:36strange condition where his knees dislocate.I have a similar problem
0:34:36 > 0:34:42and I have wires in my kneecap to stabilise my patella. Sometimes when
0:34:42 > 0:34:47you are dating hard, the knee wants to come out of place.It is similar
0:34:47 > 0:34:51to Scottie. I wish I hadn't mentioned that, I now feel a little
0:34:51 > 0:34:58bit sick! Here is the schedule for the men's snowboard halfpipe final,
0:34:58 > 0:35:05and here is what is still to come tonight.
0:35:11 > 0:35:18Germany looking to dominate the women's luge.
0:35:21 > 0:35:41women's luge.No can do.Take about. -- a bow.I can't hear them.See you
0:35:41 > 0:35:49tomorrow.I knew that you would make it, trying to learn short track. You
0:35:49 > 0:35:53made it look quite easy.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56The Alpine skiing programme has been blown off course by the wind,
0:35:56 > 0:35:59but finally today an event could take place - the Combined.
0:35:59 > 0:36:05Marcel Hirscher is proclaimed as one of the greatest of all time
0:36:05 > 0:36:08but so far his trophy cabinet has been lacking an Olympic
0:36:08 > 0:36:11gold medal.
0:36:11 > 0:36:19gold medal.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Hirschel still in front. One of the greatest of all time.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32The all-conquering Austrian is targeting four gold medals in total.
0:36:32 > 0:36:38Here's Graham Bell.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42The Johnson Alpine Centre is the setting for the men's Alpine
0:36:42 > 0:36:46combined, and exacting test of skiing skills with two disciplines,
0:36:46 > 0:36:48downhill followed my slalom. Downhill is all about pace and
0:36:48 > 0:36:56speed. Slalom demands more focus on technical execution. The scoring is
0:36:56 > 0:37:04simple, the fastest combined time wins.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09wins. Thomas dressing of Germany will be the first ski racer at the
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Alpine skiing. But all of the delays because of when we have to weight
0:37:14 > 0:37:18until Tuesday for the men's Alpine combined to get under way. It is a
0:37:18 > 0:37:21shortened course because of the win and Graham Bell will talk you
0:37:21 > 0:37:25through it.Starting on top of the roller-coaster section of the
0:37:25 > 0:37:29tunnels underneath the course, coming up onto what would be the
0:37:29 > 0:37:38second jump in the downhill at the Dragon School, the big sweeping
0:37:38 > 0:37:44time, that is paradise turn, and the second jump on this course, then
0:37:44 > 0:37:50heading towards the blue Dragon Valley.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Valley. Dressen is experienced in down but not up to much in slalom
0:37:56 > 0:38:01and this combined race is a match of the two. Dressen had good speed in
0:38:01 > 0:38:05the training runs, top seven in the last training run. So expect Dressen
0:38:05 > 0:38:10to set down a good time. He's had an error-free run and the downhill,
0:38:10 > 0:38:14with a little bit of wind about still as he comes past the magic
0:38:14 > 0:38:20tree and heading towards the final jump now.The man he won the
0:38:20 > 0:38:25downhill at Kitzbuhel, before the start of the Olympic Winter Games.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30Not too many out here watching, but there will be plenty of interest now
0:38:30 > 0:38:37as Marcel Hirscher prepares to race. At Pyeongchang 2018. In action for
0:38:37 > 0:38:42the first time. Since the last Olympics when he claimed silver
0:38:42 > 0:38:47medal in the slalom. And at the World Championships in Beaver Creek
0:38:47 > 0:38:52in 20 Deeney took the gold, at the following worlds in 2017, a claim
0:38:52 > 0:38:59silver in the Alpine combined events. If he gave reasonably well
0:38:59 > 0:39:05in downhill he will be the man to catch in the second leg later.In
0:39:05 > 0:39:10his training runs his best was McGriff. Taking pressure off the
0:39:10 > 0:39:15outside ski as he went over that role. He kept balance as he took to
0:39:15 > 0:39:21the air. He can afford to give away 2.5 seconds to Thomas Dressen as
0:39:21 > 0:39:27long as he stays in the top 30. That is most important thing he has to do
0:39:27 > 0:39:34today, put down a damage limitation run the downhill.Hirschel will be
0:39:34 > 0:39:38pretty content with the way his Olympic campaign has begun.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42Hirschel's one left him in 12th place, a good position for his
0:39:42 > 0:39:48favourite discipline of slalom to come. No one could better Dressen.
0:39:48 > 0:39:54His hostess Ron was Axel Swindell to decided not to start the slalom.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59This was all about practice for the main downhill. As a slalom
0:39:59 > 0:40:06specialist Alexis Pinturault finished best.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10finished best. He has given himself lots of work to do to reach the
0:40:10 > 0:40:20medals.
0:40:20 > 0:40:27He's a good combined skier, he has one World Cup combined event this
0:40:27 > 0:40:32season and he starting on a nice, clean track.There is a lot of set
0:40:32 > 0:40:36in this one and with an early start number, a means to put a good run
0:40:36 > 0:40:44down. 2.23 down on the winner of the first run, Thomas Dressen, so you
0:40:44 > 0:40:46will be disappointed with the downhill, but he has got a chance.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51He could get a medal from this position if he puts down a great
0:40:51 > 0:40:56slalom run.No one has gone down before him so he has a nice, fresh
0:40:56 > 0:41:01canvas underfoot, and he's carving some sweet tones, the Frenchman,
0:41:01 > 0:41:12races for his club in Val d'Isere. His slalom is two minutes .75
0:41:12 > 0:41:19seconds. Now, Marcel Hirscher, the best combined skier in the role, he
0:41:19 > 0:41:24has a one second advantage over the Frenchman after the first run. The
0:41:24 > 0:41:28one thing that is missing from his trophy cabinet is an Olympic gold
0:41:28 > 0:41:37medal. Can you put that right today? It is looking for the good but not
0:41:37 > 0:41:45as clean as Muffat-Jeandet on this first part of the course. Marcel
0:41:45 > 0:41:52Hirscher is doing what he does best. The wind is there, but he's battling
0:41:52 > 0:41:58his way through it. He doesn't seem to care. The wind is whipping up,
0:41:58 > 0:42:03trying its best to stretch Marcel Hirscher will, can you do enough to
0:42:03 > 0:42:10move into gold medal position over Muffat-Jeandet?
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Muffat-Jeandet? Glorious slalom skiing from Marcel Hirscher.He has
0:42:14 > 0:42:18seen off one of the French challengers. He will be unhappy with
0:42:18 > 0:42:24that wind, he will want output down more of a lead over Victor
0:42:24 > 0:42:31Muffat-Jeandet. He will have a nervous weight now for the run of
0:42:31 > 0:42:37Alexis Pinturault of France. He is ready to race for the final today.
0:42:37 > 0:42:45He pushes hard out of the start gate. He doesn't have a lot over
0:42:45 > 0:42:52Marcel Hirscher. He has started off well enough, a little stumble, he
0:42:52 > 0:42:56has counter rotated, and a great recovery from Pinturault but again
0:42:56 > 0:43:02the same mistake. Just jetted out on the turn. Now Pinturault finds
0:43:02 > 0:43:08himself behind Marcel Hirscher. He has turned on the red light for the
0:43:08 > 0:43:12first time, 0.1 four. It is still good enough potentially for silver
0:43:12 > 0:43:18medal position but there is no way, because Marcel Hirscher were so
0:43:18 > 0:43:22quick on the bottom part of the course. There is no way that hate
0:43:22 > 0:43:26you can move into gold, he has gone into second. He didn't have the wind
0:43:26 > 0:43:31on the second part of the course, he was able to catch up some but that
0:43:31 > 0:43:37is what we thought and that seems all decided now. So, back to the top
0:43:37 > 0:43:43and with one to come, Marcel Hirscher and Alexis Pinturault are
0:43:43 > 0:43:48guaranteed medals.
0:43:51 > 0:43:52guaranteed medals. Can Thomas Dressen snatch the bronze? He is
0:43:52 > 0:43:58often a steady start.Steady is the operative word. He's going to let
0:43:58 > 0:44:01slip half of his lead with half a second up. Canny squeeze into the
0:44:01 > 0:44:07bronze medal position? If he wants the bronzes got to finish within
0:44:07 > 0:44:151.01 seconds of Marcel Hirscher. He trails the great Austrian by .43
0:44:15 > 0:44:23seconds. What will he be down at the split? It has grown to 1.5 six. It
0:44:23 > 0:44:27is almost certainly out of reach now, and the French are starting to
0:44:27 > 0:44:33think that they will take two medals after the men's Alpine combined as
0:44:33 > 0:44:37Thomas Dressen lives dangerously but vanishes in ninth. The medals are
0:44:37 > 0:44:44decided.At last, Marcel Hirscher is an Olympic champion. He takes the
0:44:44 > 0:44:50men's Alpine combined gold.
0:44:50 > 0:44:51men's Alpine combined gold. The bronze
0:44:51 > 0:44:51men's Alpine combined gold. The bronze goes to Victor
0:44:51 > 0:44:56Muffat-Jeandet. Marcel Hirscher always said the Olympics were not
0:44:56 > 0:45:02his main motivation. I did believe that. Six months ago it looked like
0:45:02 > 0:45:08he might not make it.He fractured his ankle. The first event was
0:45:08 > 0:45:13cancelled and then in his second race back, the slalom, he won. He
0:45:13 > 0:45:16had that muscle memory. It took the pressure completely off. I don't
0:45:16 > 0:45:20think that's what he was really thinking and you could see that from
0:45:20 > 0:45:23his reaction. He was going for the gold, and he needed that to start
0:45:23 > 0:45:30making possibly history.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39This it doesn't favour the technical skier but look that these
0:45:39 > 0:45:43conditions.It is so impressive and he skied through the wind as he made
0:45:43 > 0:45:47speed through it and that shows the confidence of his slalom skiing
0:45:47 > 0:45:52right now.What is he like as a guide?I will be honest, I didn't
0:45:52 > 0:45:55know him early in my career when he was winning everything and I wanted
0:45:55 > 0:45:59to not like him because he was too good but then I met him and he is so
0:45:59 > 0:46:10nice and so respectful and he has such good words to say to anyone who
0:46:10 > 0:46:13beats MMT is the biggest fan of Dave Ryding. He was once to train with
0:46:13 > 0:46:16him and pick up tips from him. But Dave has less to learn from Marcel
0:46:16 > 0:46:22Hirscher because it is a secret technique that not everyone can do.
0:46:22 > 0:46:34Bode Miller is a massive fan of Michaela Shiffrin.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38The next Alpine skiing event is the Women's Slalom which begins
0:46:38 > 0:46:39tomorrow morning at 1.15am.
0:46:39 > 0:46:47Michaela Shiffrin will be looking to hit all the right notes.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57She is in a league of her own!
0:46:57 > 0:47:06She is in a league of her own!
0:47:08 > 0:47:19A third successive world title! She is the Olympic champion at 18.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37She is multitalented and she is singing her own song there.She is
0:47:37 > 0:47:40singing she wishes she could be a cool kid but I think she is the
0:47:40 > 0:47:43coolest kid on the block. She is amazing and super-talented. A lot of
0:47:43 > 0:47:47ski racers are created with music in that way but she has incredible
0:47:47 > 0:47:50skills. We are always putting the blue boxes and calling them
0:47:50 > 0:47:55technical or speed skiers but she won the first speed race of the
0:47:55 > 0:48:01season. She had the red bib and then didn't start the other races so for
0:48:01 > 0:48:04the other girls it is a kick in the teeth that someone can come in. She
0:48:04 > 0:48:10comes in and winds that downhill but look at her downhill.She could be
0:48:10 > 0:48:16taking multiple events here, she hasn't taken on her mind -- made up
0:48:16 > 0:48:24her mind yet. She has been said to be the best ski racer ever, male or
0:48:24 > 0:48:30female, that is from Bode Miller.He has said she could take five gold
0:48:30 > 0:48:33medals from that. We have seen in all winter sports you need a bit of
0:48:33 > 0:48:36luck so it would be incredible and all the stars would have to align
0:48:36 > 0:48:43but she is so talented.We will see our first two British women in
0:48:43 > 0:48:47Alpine action.Alex Tilley is a better skier than I was technically
0:48:47 > 0:48:51so strong. If she gets her tactics right she could up there with the
0:48:51 > 0:48:56best in the world. Charlie Guest has made it the great fightback after a
0:48:56 > 0:49:08back injury to make this team and she is a secret squirrel.
0:49:13 > 0:49:33The luge, Germanic. 42 medals.Be flying Germans have done it!
0:49:33 > 0:49:43Domination. Precision engineering. Expect Germany, expect one, two,
0:49:43 > 0:49:45three.
0:49:45 > 0:49:50Expect Germany, expect one, two, three.Here goes the German at
0:49:50 > 0:49:56number two in the world, Dajana Eitberger.All of these sliders have
0:49:56 > 0:50:00been so consistent and there is nothing between them in terms of
0:50:00 > 0:50:03equipment, their driving style and now it is all about that they know
0:50:03 > 0:50:08how to get down the track and that they can handle the mental pressure
0:50:08 > 0:50:11of getting the optimum lines and making sure they are building speed
0:50:11 > 0:50:15all the way up the track, especially as they come down corner eight and
0:50:15 > 0:50:20into corner nine. It has been costing so many people. Just a
0:50:20 > 0:50:28little bit late into 12 but
0:50:28 > 0:50:29little bit late into 12 but she got through straight and this should get
0:50:29 > 0:50:33her to hold on for the lead and put pressure on the next person. She is
0:50:33 > 0:50:35holding a big gap.Dajana Eitberger looks as though she will be forth
0:50:35 > 0:50:40that the very worst. We knew from the men that anything can happen
0:50:40 > 0:50:45with the big three. It is a strong run and she knows it.One down and
0:50:45 > 0:50:53two to go. Tatjana Hufner is 34 and a legend of this sport. She's
0:50:53 > 0:51:01usually rock-solid. Can she hold a nerve?We will find out at the
0:51:01 > 0:51:07bottom. It is so close. If she makes one mistake it is easy for her to
0:51:07 > 0:51:11drop back two places, which will then bump the Canadian back into
0:51:11 > 0:51:14bronze. We saw this the other day, and that could have been a mistake
0:51:14 > 0:51:20there. Is it enough. She will have to drive the curve to keep these
0:51:20 > 0:51:24speed. She is keeping a consistent line but is there enough track left?
0:51:24 > 0:51:30This could be it and the difference. Will she lose it coming up the hill?
0:51:30 > 0:51:38This is so dramatic, at the hilt of the line. It is all very tight. She
0:51:38 > 0:51:46is down to third at the moment. Natalie Geisenberger, to create
0:51:46 > 0:51:50history and win it for the second time and Dajana Eitberger waits in
0:51:50 > 0:51:56the wings. The best in the world and the best many have seen in their
0:51:56 > 0:52:01lifetime. Let us now see.You can see from the caption she already has
0:52:01 > 0:52:05half a second. We have seen people making mistakes at the end of the
0:52:05 > 0:52:09Dragons tale and the end of the chicane and it can cost them over
0:52:09 > 0:52:13half a second and if she gets the corner right now she is on her way
0:52:13 > 0:52:19to being the Olympic champion in 2018 and she will not lose that
0:52:19 > 0:52:23amount of time in the last few corners. If she comes through the
0:52:23 > 0:52:28big Olympic corner she is still holding the 40 51 hundredths of a
0:52:28 > 0:52:32second.A big lead and she is going to do it once again just like at
0:52:32 > 0:52:39Sochi and she is the tenth German to win and only the third to win it
0:52:39 > 0:52:52twice, joining previous luge athletes. The luge in German
0:52:52 > 0:52:58colours, gold and silver. Not quite bronze.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00So no clean sweep for the German women after that
0:53:00 > 0:53:01Tatjana Hufner error.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05Medals are won and lost by such tiny margins.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08Talking of wobbles, if you go off track in the luge, this is what can
0:53:08 > 0:53:10happen.
0:53:10 > 0:53:11This is 24-year-old US luger Emily Sweeney.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13She came in as world number 11.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17A memorable debut for her as she is flung around the sliding track.
0:53:17 > 0:53:18Emily works for the US military.
0:53:18 > 0:53:22She's obviously made of stern stuff.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26She told reporters after that but she was OK but she has gone to
0:53:26 > 0:53:30hospital for x-rays on her back and thank goodness she is walking away,
0:53:30 > 0:53:35but she looks as though she is in a lot of pain. Now we have Paddy with
0:53:35 > 0:53:38a round-up of what else has been going on.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Clockwork orange in the speed skating, another Dutch victory,
0:53:40 > 0:53:42this time for Kjeld Nuis Nows in the 1500m.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Another Netherlander, Patrick Roest finished second
0:53:44 > 0:53:49and the Dutch have won all four speed skating golds so far.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52No surprise to see a Norwegian winning a cross-country skiing
0:53:52 > 0:53:54event, and no surprise to see it's Johannes Hoesflot-Klaebo,
0:53:54 > 0:53:58who picked up sprint classic gold.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00He's so good a teammate recently called him
0:54:00 > 0:54:04humiliating and fascinating.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07But in the women's sprint classic Norway lost out to the neighbours.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09Sweden's Stina Nilsson outskied the Norwegian defending champion
0:54:09 > 0:54:15Maiken Mighken Caspersen Falla.
0:54:15 > 0:54:16More exciting British news from skeleton practice.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18Lizzy Yarnold, Britain's defending champion,
0:54:18 > 0:54:21was quickest in the final run.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23Teammate Laura Deas went fastest in the first.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26That comes after a very encouraging first day of training.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Some are putting it down to the new suits they're wearing,
0:54:29 > 0:54:30the same ones as British cyclists.
0:54:30 > 0:54:34Could the key to the skeleton be the skin?
0:54:34 > 0:54:37Ice hockey is a famously fast sport, but not normally this quick.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40This is American Jocelyn Lamoureux-Davidson scoring
0:54:40 > 0:54:44against Olympic Athletes of Russia, and six seconds later this
0:54:44 > 0:54:48is her doing it again.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49That broke an Olympic record.
0:54:49 > 0:54:54The US won 5-0.
0:54:54 > 0:54:56Let us have a look at the medal table as it
0:54:56 > 0:54:57Let us have a look at the medal table as it stands at the end of day
0:54:57 > 0:55:02four. Germany lead the way with five gold medals. Their record is 12.
0:55:02 > 0:55:07They are nearly halfway there and we're only one quarter of a way
0:55:07 > 0:55:12through the games. They are closely followed by the Netherlands. The USA
0:55:12 > 0:55:18are going well, helped by the Chloe Kim gold in this snow pipe, the
0:55:18 > 0:55:26halfpipe, it should be pipe! They are just behind Canada. Let us go
0:55:26 > 0:55:32off piste. Our favourite baby super fan has
0:55:32 > 0:55:35today been trying his hand at speed skating which is very relevant.
0:55:35 > 0:55:42Doing well. This family and friends were trying out different Winter
0:55:42 > 0:55:49Olympic disciplines. This is baby Jessica trying her hand at figure
0:55:49 > 0:55:54skating and making plans for the 2034 Olympics. She is doing very
0:55:54 > 0:56:08well abstain on her feet unlike Eva who takes a tumble trying to emulate
0:56:08 > 0:56:14the ice skaters. This is extraordinary. What is this?Is it a
0:56:14 > 0:56:20little kid?I thought it was kids to start with.They do not have heads.
0:56:20 > 0:56:25They are robots. This is the robot ski Championships. How crazy is the
0:56:25 > 0:56:34world getting?A new sport for the Red Button! Red-hot and ice-cold.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37First up, they were minding your own business am watching the downhill
0:56:37 > 0:56:44part of the combined when someone out of nowhere hits you, always
0:56:44 > 0:56:51remember where there was blame, there is a claim. Women's ice
0:56:51 > 0:56:54hockey, no matter what this part is not going in.
0:56:54 > 0:57:02hockey, no matter what this part is not going in. You shall not pass. We
0:57:02 > 0:57:05may be passed panto season but this is a case of Lookout, it is behind
0:57:05 > 0:57:14you. Seriously, it is behind you. They did end up with a bronze medal
0:57:14 > 0:57:17so there was compensation. Back to the ice hockey for some magic. Keep
0:57:17 > 0:57:23your eye on the park. Where has it gone? Where has it gone? Is that
0:57:23 > 0:57:31apart in your pants, refs? It was in his pocket! Her pocket, I should
0:57:31 > 0:57:35say. Loads more to come on a very busy day. Radzi is on air at
0:57:35 > 0:57:38midnight and taking a straight to the curling rink for the matchup
0:57:38 > 0:57:43between the British men and the Swiss. The British -- halfpipe is
0:57:43 > 0:57:47then featuring Sean White going for his third Olympic title and then
0:57:47 > 0:57:50Michaela Shiffrin goes in the women's slalom with her second run
0:57:50 > 0:57:57at 4:45am. Chemmy Alcott will be setting her alarm early. Then will
0:57:57 > 0:58:05stay up late. Sarah will keep sending messages because that is the
0:58:05 > 0:58:09day for -- that is it for a day that started with such great hope for a
0:58:09 > 0:58:13Elise Christie but sport does not go to plan but Sarah calls her the
0:58:13 > 0:58:16comeback queen and that is the difference between all of us who
0:58:16 > 0:58:23fall in the greatest to get back up and try again.
0:58:23 > 0:58:29Elise Christie, the world record holder at this distance. Is this to
0:58:29 > 0:58:34be her moment?
0:58:36 > 0:58:39be her moment? There they go. A clean start. Towards the line, Elise
0:58:39 > 0:58:45Christie takes it, the new Olympic record. Away they go, and they are
0:58:45 > 0:58:48way first time. Christie is challenging on the inside. But
0:58:48 > 0:58:52towards the line and Elise Christie is into the final. Away they go in
0:58:52 > 0:58:56the final is on in the getaway first time. Elise Christie try to have the
0:58:56 > 0:59:02inside line. Elise Christie crashes out. In her quest for gold, Elise
0:59:02 > 0:59:07Christie ends up on the floor again.
